Why would DeVos hit my blog looking...


... for information about partial birth abortion laws?



Check the IP address...





...and check where that address goes to...





Hmmm. Should we be expecting an ad anytime soon on that?



(Just a reminder, DeVos said he would have signed a bill banning PBA that didn't include an exception for the life and health of the mother. He would also make you carry your rapist's baby. Just so we are clear on Dick's position here.)



I bring you this information as my own personal salute to the Freedom of Information Act, something that Dick doesn't seem to think is necessary. Seems that the Michigan Press Association sent the candidates four questions recently regarding open government. Here is what happened next, courtesy of the Saginaw News-



The first question: "Can you explain in 100 words or less why you think the Freedom of Information Act is important to the citizens of Michigan?"



Granholm, who has a day job, found time to respond to all four questions.



DeVos' campaign manager simply sent the press association this terse response:



"Thank you for your interest in Dick DeVos' campaign for change.



"We respect that your organization is engaged in the public arena. People coming together to address issues is a quintessential American right and tradition.



"At this time, we will not be responding to your questionnaire."



No, no -- thank you, Mr. DeVos, for reminding us of a quintessential press obligation to inform the public to expect the same dismissive treatment from a DeVos administration.



So, here is some free information for all of you out there. He hits me with anything else, I will let you know.
